Subaru dealers across the country are now taking orders for a naturally aspirated 4-door Impreza.
The AWD sedan comes a year after the new hatchback Impreza that debuted, and shares the same 2620mm wheelbase and price range for all three variants; R, RX, and RS. However the sedan is 165mm longer than the hatch in total, and comes with a slightly larger boot (45mm longer). The car also rides 35mm higher than the previous Impreza sedan, and provides a split-folding rear seat to improve capacity.
The sedan’s engine remains unchanged from the hatch variant, a 110KW(@6400RPM)/196NM(@3200RPM) two litre DOHC Boxer four cylinder petrol engine mated to either a 5 speed manual transmission or 4 speed SportsShift automatic. Subaru claims a combined fuel economy of 8.9L/100km for the manual variants and 8.8L/100km for automatic variants on standard (91RON) unleaded fuel.
The Impreza is available with dual front and side airbags, curtain airbags, ABS with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), brake assist, VDC stability control, active front head-rests, hill-start assist for manual cars, air conditioning and a standard 4 speaker CD audio. All models are 5-star ANCAP rated.
Purchasing the RX version adds 16″ alloy wheels, a 6-stacker, 10 speaker CD audio system, automatic climate control, a leather-rim steering wheel with audio controls and leather gearshift and optional sunroof.
The RS upgrades the alloys to 17″, adds a bodykit with rear diffuser and spoiler, mesh grille, sports seats, rear privacy glass and an upgraded trim. The RS may also be optioned with a leather trim and sunroof package.
The WRX version of the Sedan, packing Subaru’s fabled 169KW/320NM 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder is expected in December.
